Volunteering
A volunteer is someone who serves in a community or for the benefit of natural environment primarily because they choose to do so. By definition, a volunteer worker does not get paid or receive compensation for services rendered. Serving community makes ones own life better. The benefits people get from being with other people, staying active, and above all having a sense of the value of ourselves in society that may not be as clear in other areas of life.
A short list of the most recent volunteer opptunities is provided below. For more comprehensive information on volunteering, please be sure to see the Volunteer Center of Racine County's Website.
